Notes

  1. Cut the vegetables into even sizes to help them cook evenly on the grill.
  2. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  3. Marinate the vegetables for at least 15 minutes, but longer marinating will enhance the flavor.
  4. You can cook these skewers in the oven or air fryer if you don’t have a grill.
